This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it. Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

This headline & Streeting's words are an insult to the thousands of neurodiverse kids who've been monumentally failed by an NHS on its knees where early interventions are provided by charities - if at all. But yeah, put the onus back on to children to suck it up instead of addressing what's broken

I was unable to work between December & April due to a breakdown. Every single RT here helps put my creative & mental health workshops in front of more eyes & helps me get back on my feet financially. It would help *so* much if you could RT my workshop below if you have a few seconds. Thankyou 🌿

one of my favorite archaeology terms is "manuport" which just means a thing (rock, animal, stick, etc) that's in a weird place because a prehistoric human picked it up and carried it there. this one is estimated to be 3 million years old

Jung was not concerned with repairing broken lives to fit into an insane social order, but had to reverse the directions of psychiatry and argue that society was mad and, as such, individual madness is to be expected as a product of a more general madness.~David Tacey

This is a really powerful piece that outlines clearly the apocalyptic fantasies of those in charge of the US and points to some strategies for resistance. Please read and share.

doodle. write poems you never show anyone. make banana bread. take pictures of birds. grow a plant. the goal isn’t to build job skills or “become a creative” it’s to just fool around and experience yourself and the world around you

this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people

Amid all the other news, it's easy to become inured to the basic facts here. Öztürk: -Is not accused of committing any crime -Is nonviolent -Was in this country legally -Merely engaged in speech that the administration objects to -Has been locked up for six weeks

Erik Uebelacker@uebey.bsky.social

Now from Öztürk’s ACLU lawyer Esha Bhandari: “Rümeysa Öztürk’s case is unprecedented and shocking. She has been held behind bars for six weeks while her health deteriorates for writing an op-ed.”

if i was there i'd have taught a thing or two to those sheep who are condescending and rude to Babe. and i would've regretted it. my man was able to win them over with grace and aplomb. whereas my methods would likely have begotten only more violence and further disrespect to Babe. eye opening

Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying. They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks. From WCVB: youtu.be/PuFIs7OkzYY

a consequence of the takeover of tech bro hustle culture. no one's an artist anymore, they're a 'content creator'. The spotify fuckhead telling musicians they should make more music if they want to make more money just shows how fucking dumb these people are.

This excellent piece by @nickmiller79.bsky.social demonstrates how poorly society and government treats disabled people. Also how even newbuild stadiums are somewhat inaccessible. It isn't that difficult, it's a choice & a lack of willingness. www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

I know the material reasons for the rise of fascism. I also think another reason - which doesn’t get talked about as much because it’s embarrassing that humans can be that naive - is that when you are financially comfortable but bored, abstract cruelty can give you a sense of purpose.
